I'll always be an ancient chronological revisionist, and that's just a fancy way of saying that I think history as it's taught to us (in school) is full of shit and that an unbiased mind that doesn't see things through the standards of our own patriarchal egotistical lens will be able to come to different conclusions about ancient cultures...

This is republican Ron Paul in a 1988 interview; he's remained on message till this very day, still consistent, still the only guy in my opinion who may be too truthful for what is a duped and uniformed American electoral base. Those who've never voted in their entire life should evaluate this man's political career and make the choice to vote ONCE for the first time in their lives, and vote Ron Paul 2012!

This is a beat I made, it is intended for use...and it will narrate differently from the original Sade Jezebel song, it will be entitled "Black Athena" and instead of it being about a lady who sells her services, I see my version being about a female's beauty.

If your eyes have been opened to consciousness then you can close your physical eyes & still see everything; but if your eyes have been closed to consciousness then you'll open your eyes all the time and see nothing. I personally have an eye out for the occult because I'm not symbol illiterate as most people have been trained to be. We can literally walk by something that's in plain sight all of the time and notice nothing uniquely strange, and it could be staring at you, right in your face. On this post I've taken the liberty to mention 2 music videos.

Bear in mind that in no way am I implying that these videos are satanic or conspiratorial in nature, but I do notice the symbolism and fine details that make them more then just visual aids for the song.

The Weeknd - The Knowing: This is the official video of Canadian singer Abel Tesfaye which featured on the mixtape House of Balloons' as the closing track, The Knowing. The video opens with a baffling prologue set in Ethiopia in the 1970s, and then it becomes a time-travelling odyssey that blasts the viewer to a planet called Ethia X in 16311 AD. If you think this video is about a girl who broke his heart then your not getting the deeper message.

----

Florence + the Machine: is different from most singers for several reasons. First, there is obvious talent and artistry involved in her works, making them more profound than most pop songs out there. Second, there is a definite occult influence in her music but it is not hidden or concealed, for me it is all too apparent in this video entitled "Shake It Out"

This video tells the story of an initiation ritual in a strange secret society, taking place in a strange masquerade ball with masked guests – reminiscent of the secret society orgy in the movie “Eyes Wide Shut”. One of the masked characters strikingly resembles Hypnos, the Greek god of sleep - from which the term "hypnosis" comes from. I won't say more...

Originally dropped on Halloween, but the project isn't confined to a holiday. Sep and producer Khan SoulO, collaboratively worked on “The Nightmare Project” which consists of beats all sampled from the movie “A Nightmare Before Christmas”. With appearances from Rich Kidd, Dan-e-O, Korey Deez, Wio-K and more!

Today's latest generation of young people are courageous people who are advocating more then ever before for change on a large scale. It is incumbent upon anyone who is aware and conscious to seize the "evolutionary moment" when you notice it, so that we may end wars, stop oppression, and halt injustice wherever it raises it's ugly head. I support in principle the #OccupyToronto Movement.

If your not cognizant of your fellow man when he screams out for help or when he voices his concerns about the world then you've become callous to your own humanity. Agree or Disagree, an awakening is happening and the wave will either carry you with the tide of popular consensus or sweep you under the rug.

Born in a military hospital in South America, Immortal Technique was brought to the United States in the early 80's while a civil war was breaking out in his native Peru. Now a native of Harlem New York, Immortal Technique has solidified himself as one of America's longest still standing revolutionary MC's in the Rap game. Relevant mainly because he's unsigned to any major record label and makes more money touring independently while he nourishes his ever growing fan base, a testament to the many others who still beg hat in hand to record executives. I also think he's the only rapper to have actually gone to Afghanistan and set up an organization there that helps war torn children affected by the war.

Bab'Aziz - The Prince Who Contemplated His Soul is the story of a blind dervish named Bab'Aziz and his spirited grand daughter, Ishtar. Together they wander the desert in search of a great reunion of dervishes that takes place just once every thirty years. With faith as their only guide, the two journey for days through the expansive, barren landscape.

To keep Ishtar entertained, Bab'Aziz relays the ancient tale of a prince who relinquished his realm in order to remain next to a small pool in the desert, staring into its depths while contemplating his soul. As the tale of the prince unfolds, the two encounter other travelers with stories of their own --including Osman, who longs for the beautiful woman he met at the bottom of a well, and Zaid, who searches for the ravishing young woman who fled from him after being seduced by his songs. A fairytale-like story of longing and belonging, filmed in the enchanting and ever-shifting sand scapes of Tunisia and Iran.

Detectors at the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics' Gran Sasso Laboratory have measured neutrinos traveling faster than the speed of light; from the CERN physics center on the French-Swiss border, more than 450 miles away.

It was Einstein’s theory of special relativity, proposed in 1905, that stated that nothing in the universe can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. But researchers at the CERN lab near Geneva claim they have recorded neutrinos, a type of tiny particle, travelling faster than the barrier of 186,282 miles (299,792 kilometers) per second.

Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the researchers at CERN, said: “We have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing.” Scientists agree if the results are confirmed, that it would force a fundamental rethink of the laws of physics. John Ellis, a theoretical physicist, said Einstein’s theory underlies “pretty much everything in modern physics”.

The results have so astounded researchers that American and Japanese scientists have been asked to verify the results before they are confirmed as a discovery. We lived in a universe that was explained by theories...correct me if I'm wrong, but it was called THE THEORY of Relativity, which doesn't in my opinion make Einstein out to be a scientist who believed in absolutes. Theories are just that...there meant to be broken by factual occurances that render all of our previous findings faulty. I for one do not find these sorts of discoveries dishearetening, but encouraging. It took 100 years for man to go from a horse and buggy to walking on the moon; why shouldn't it take just as long for man to prove that there is no absolute limit on speed.

Apparently this is a natural phenomena caused by a chemical reaction called bioluminescence, which happens when a naturally-occurring micro-organism in the water is disturbed, causing a chemical reaction which emits light. The reaction is similar to the ‘glow’ that fireflies use to attract prey or mates. Many undersea organisms ‘glow’, especially creatures that live at depths where light from the surface is less likely to penetrate (just the sort of nerdy stuff that I find fascinating).

This spellbinding sight was captured at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, California, yesterday. The night-time glow is a side-effect of blooming red algae, known as red tide, which can turn entire beaches scarlet and murky during the day. The smell of decay, caused by rotting kelp, plankton and fish often accompanies the event as the red algae starves the water of oxygen and light. By night, there is an increase in microscopic plankton called dynoflagellates, which glow in the dark when disturbed by currents or waves.

This video is probably the last installment (one of many videos) from an album I executive produced entitled Who Is Sep - Allergy Pills and Alcohol, and this track is entitled GO BAMN...a slightly more aggressive track that goes against most of today's more gimmicky videos.

As part of the promotion for Steve Stoute’s new book, The Tanning of America, Stoute has partnered with AOL HuffPost Media Group for a video series entitled, The Tanning Effect. Check out the trailer features highlights of Stoute’s interviews with Jay-Z, Pharrell, Lady Gaga, and Jimmy Iovine.

This is an old knocker on an even older door in a street called Le Vieux-Mans in France. It was a picture sent to me by a friend who lives there and he knew that I'd take an interest in it. It's from a remote district on a Gallo-Roman wall in the area. I've always known about the "Oroborus" symbol and it has deep (long forgotten) meanings.

An Ouroboros is a drawing of a snake or a dragon-snake which bites it's own tail. It's etymological root can be found in the old Greek ουροβοροs, which was later latinized and spelled as "uroborus" which also means "that which bites the tail".

The early christians saw the ouroboros as a symbol of cyclic time and continuity of life. In alchemy, the ouroboros was seen as a purifying seal. It symbolized the eternal unit of all things, the incarnating cycle of life (birth) and death.

The Ancient Astronaut theorists have compiled a wonderful tapestry of questions (and not many answers). All of these questions steeped in the most ancient of mysterious; and they've attributed the origin of these mysteries to nothing other than extraterrestrials from either another planet or another dimension. If this sounds a little far-fetched to you, your not alone, because like most people you've relegated these mysteries as unsolvable, or you've left such questions answerable only by those who are into Archeology.

The Ancient Astronaut theorists delve into the mysteries of these ancient architectural achievements, but they don't do it using science alone like Archaeologists do; there using sacred religious texts and the stories from legends and myths to give them justifiable weight in the arena of public opinion. Now how does that make their theories justifiable truth? It's safe to say that there are still greater numbers of adherents to religion than there are adherents to science, no matter how secular our world has gotten. Ancient Astronaut theory in my opinion strikes the sheppard to scatter the sheep. Sheep who have already begun to question their faith in God, and now they can find something more physical to latch on to, an alien being (the Annunaki) who according to Sumerian text descended from the heavens and gave primitive man a head start on civilization.

Daniel 4:17: "This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men."

To me...Ancient Astronaut Theory uses passages like the one shown above from the Bible to support it's theories. I can already see how religion will combat these claims by simply claiming that these extraterrestrial beings are themselves either demons or angels, working within the divine council or hierarchy of God. Religious ideologues will always be able to say that God created the alien even if the alien tampered with man, and to that there will be no defence until of course an alien ship lands down on this planet declaring to all who would believe that they are in fact the gods that we have always believed in. Until then this entire discussion about whether it was Aliens or God is all conjecture and fanciful story-telling at best.

The Mayan Ruler Palenque, said to be flying inside a space craft?!?You decide...

I will say this about ancient astronaut theory, I do love how it challenges earth's timeline of history, how it digs to find evidence that debunks long held claims in both Archeology and History (that the Pyramid of Giza was a tomb, which I don't happen to believe is true). Our textbooks on history are an out-dated propaganda and there are so many loose ends that have been considered legitimate means to an end. So in my opinion it's healthy to inject good questioning into the debates that have long had it's doors closed by orthodoxy. The findings at Puma Punku we're amazing. The precision stone cutting abilities of the Inca found at Puma Punku merit more investigation. The painting by artist Carlo Crivelli in the year 1486 entitled "The Annunciation" was a remarkable old world illustration of a UFO. The Piri Reis Map caught my attention also (not because I thought aliens gave them the aerial precision with which to make such a map) but because I've always thought that man was smarter than the current timeline of history would give him credit for.

I've tried my hand at producing before, I've made a few singles for artists that I've believed in; but now I'm doing the musical project that I've wanted to do for a long time. A beat CD entitled "My Drunken Universe", and it's going to feature artists from around the world. This beat below is only a snippet, it contains a sample from a french song: Charles Aznavour - Comme ils disent, and a scene from the movie "The Notebook".

The project's theme will be about how LOVE intoxicates and it's many facets, from both male and female rappers who will feature on the project. I'm open to offers from artists who might be interested in the project. Email me at: Productindemand@gmail.com

Hakim Bey (born Peter Lamborn Wilson in 1945), is an American political writer, essayist, and poet. He did extensive traveling in the Middle East, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Nepal. He studied Tantra in West Bengal and visited many Sufi shrines and masters. In 1971 he undertook research on the Ni'matullahi funded by the Marsden Foundation of New York. Bey has written essays on such diverse topics as Tong traditions, the utopian Charles Fourier, the fascist Gabriele D'Annunzio, alleged connections between Sufism and ancient Celtic culture, sacred pederasty in the Sufi tradition, technology and Luddism, and Amanita muscaria use in ancient Ireland. An interesting author to me.

I've embedded below a lecture by Mr Wilson wherein he discusses the art of Sufi traveling. He focuses on travel in the world of Islam, discussing the history of nomadic travel and tradition. He relates several anecdotes about scholar Ibn Arabi and recites a Sufi traveling song. He continues his discussion on nomads followed by a brief talk about the travels of French poet Arthur Rimbaud. He ends the lecture by discussing the future of travel in general which I found fascinating.

Listen to the Federal Reserve representative tell Congressman Ron Paul that the Fed has no Gold in it's reserves, and listen to how Ron Paul states that money is Gold and that the absence of Gold renders the money worthless in terms of value.

America is Bankrupt!

Every civilization in human history has always had a system of slavery in place, for mankind will always like for another man to do his bidding. What better way to keep slavery then to institute slavery voluntarily, to a public that's unsuspecting and unaware of the invisible chains that exist. From the womb to the tomb...this is how they do it.

I was on the Danforth (543 Danforth Ave) in Toronto earlier today and I came across a gem in the city that sells Indigenous Art from all across Africa, with a uniqueness to specific cultures that they trade with exclusively for items that you wouldn't typically find in a store of similar fashion. NHARO just seemed to carry items that were crafted, carved and woven by master artisans, and the quality spoke to me.

The customer service was phenomenal (her name was Irene) she was extremely friendly and rendered historical information about the pieces, there qualities and materials, I was impressed and enlightened about what I was buying.

You walk in and immediately you see this mother and child.

You step in and your eyes dart around the place, the art is phenomenal.

Almost Life Like Quality

The piece that interested me was a piece carved by the Shona of Zimbabwe, more specifically carved by an artisan named Gabriel Tigere Tandi of Zimbabwe, its made of Serpentine stone. She's made in the likeness of a Zulu Warrior, her head dress conveys a status. The material is a very hard stone that's confirmed to come from a 6 million year old quarry of mountain stone. It's absolutely phenomenal!
